• A college degree in Graphic Design, Media Arts, or a related field of study.
• Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) at an advanced level; proficiency in Premiere or After Effects is a plus.
• Proficiency in using AI tools to enhance the creative process - from concept development and ideation to production efficiency - while maintaining the craft, judgment, and originality that define great design.
• Strong understanding of lighting, photography, and videography to ensure your designs are brought to life in the best possible way.
• A proven ability to lead creative teams, elevate the overall design process, and inspire colleagues to achieve their best work.
